Monday

It’s a small world

High street giant Uniqlo hasn’t got where it has by thinking small. But a bit of downsizing is exactly what’s on the cards for next season as today the brand announces the arrival of its first childrenswear line. Landing online now and in-store Friday, miniature versions from the main line include cotton flannel shirts, ultra-light down jackets and a heat-tech range to keep wee bodies toasty through AW13. (From £5.90, uniqlo.com).

Tuesday

Teen spirit

Remember Shellys London? Or should that be remember those platform loafers we were never allowed to wear to school, despite all our pleading? Well, we’re getting a second chance at pre-teen rebellion as — thanks to a revival by Aldo — the footwear brand that defined a generation is officially back in business. Relaunching today on ASOS, the 50-piece collection has buckled biker boots, creeper-soled penny loafers and houndstooth Mary Janes by the bucket-load. (£80, asos.com).

Wednesday

Underneath it all

A good set of underwear always feels great — but it feels even better when it hasn’t cost you half a month’s salary. Today, & Other Stories welcomes its latest Co-Lab collection from Alöe — a lovely lingerie label from London-based designer Claire Judge, who uses only soft-washed fabric and silk in her collection of pretty pants, soft bras and printed playsuits, while loungewear comes in chic kimonos and super-comfy track pants inspired by dancers’ studiowear. (From £15, stories.com).

Thursday

Makes scents

We know it smells nice. We know it looks good on our dressing table. But have you ever wondered what really goes on behind your favourite perfume? Today, Harrods prepares to lift the lid on all things fragrant, by embarking upon a series of workshops hosted by some of the industry’s most hard-working noses. Quentin Bish — one of Givaudan’s leading perfumers, who produces scents for everyone from Tom Ford to Armani — is up first to educate the masses in sensory discovery, while over the next month other brands to appear on the schedule include Guerlain, Jo Malone and Chanel. (From £30; to book, contact Harrods Concierge on 020 7225 6874).
